To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. PEoKrmM,

With the above objects in view, and others which will appear as thenature of the description progresses, the invention resides in the novelconstructlon and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described andclaimed.

In the accompanying drawingsFigure 1 is a side eleva ion of a lanternconstructed in accordance ith the present invention. Fig. 2 is avertical longitudinal sectional view of the lower. portion of thelantern. Fig. 3 is a detail vertical sectional View upon the line 3-3 ofFig. 1.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the lantern. This lantern isof the ordinary construction comprising an oil reservoir 2, having theusual burner 3, and being also provided with the vertical side frame orair tubes 4.- and 5.

The numeral 6 designates a hollow boss which communicates with thereservoir 2 and which has attached thereto a glass or transparent tube8. This tube has its top closed and its lower inner portion threaded soas to be readily positioned upon the collar surrounding the oil opening6.

The numeral 7 designates an indicator which is positioned within thereservoir 2, which comprises a buoyant member formed with a verticallyextending graduated stem or rod 10. This rod is adapted to projectwithin the tube 8, and it will be noted that the amount of oil withinthe reservoir may be thus readily ascertained the buoyant member raisingor lowering the stem 10 as the oil is increased or diminished.

The air tube 4. in the present instance has its off-set portioncommunicating with the reservoir 2, the said air tube is formed with anoff-set nozzle 11. This nozzle comprises an outwardly flared member, themouth of which is normally open and the said nozzle is adapted to serveas means whereby oil may be delivered to the reservoir through the tube4, thus obviating the necessity of removing any of the parts of thelantern when fuel is to be delivered to the reservoir thereof. The tubebelow the nozzle 11 is provided with a glass or other transparent sight,member 12, the latter being preferably constructed of a glass tube andsecured to the sections of the tube 4: in any desired manner, so thatthe flow of oil will not be retarded by the said member 12.

Having thus fully described the said invention, what I claim is Alantern having one of its hollow side bars provided with an opening, anoffset threaded nozzle secured to the said bar and surrounding theopening, a threaded cap for the nozzle, the hollow sidebar above theopening being closed, the said side bar being provided with atransparent sight adjacent its offset connection with the reservoir ofthe lantern and the said offset portion of the hollow bar being providedwith an opening which communicates with a similar opening formed in thetop of the lantern reservoir.
